Zaburi 13

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpaka lini, Ee Bwana? Je, utanisahau milele? Utanificha uso wako mpaka lini?

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me until the end? How long will you turn your face away from me?

2 Nitapambana na mawazo yangu mpaka lini, na kila siku kuwa na majonzi moyoni mwangu? Adui zangu watanishinda mpaka lini?

How long can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?

3 Nitazame, unijibu, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu. Yatie nuru macho yangu, ama sivyo nitalala usingizi wa mauti.

How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

4 Adui yangu atasema, “Nimemshinda,” nao adui zangu watashangilia nitakapoanguka.

Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,

5 Lakini ninategemea upendo wako usiokoma; moyo wangu unashangilia katika wokovu wako.

lest at any time my enemy may say, “I have prevailed against him.” Those who trouble me will exult, if I have been disturbed.

6 Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa amekuwa mwema kwangu.

But I have hoped in your mercy. My heart will exult in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, who assigns good things to me. And I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord Most High.
